Water Connection Instruction GuideRead all directions carefully before you begin.Connecting

the Refrigerator to a Water Source

Connect to potable water supply only.Warning

• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn icemaker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.• It may take up to 24 hours for your icemaker to begin producing ice.

IMPORTANT

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a waterpressure regulator.The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure 30~120psi(lb/inch2)

Cold Water Supply

� Standard screwdriver� 7/16-inch and 1/2-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches� 1/4-inch nut driver� 1/4-inch drill bit� Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

Tools Required

• Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valvecomplies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inchsaddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE

Installation

9

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure

on the line. It may help to open an outside faucet to allow the water to drain fromthe line in the house.

3. Find a 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

Connect the Tubing to

Water Line

• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top ofthe pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keepsnormal sediment from collecting in the valve.

NOTE

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from theconnection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7feet (2.1m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-inch O.D.(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cutsquare.

5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4-inch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is

solidly in the 1/4-inch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer isunder the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screwscarefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten oryou may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing isused. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screwcompression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON mainwater supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valveon the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Suggestion on Food Storage

Storing Foods� Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an

important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.� Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperatures, such as bananas and

melons.� Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil

other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.� When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This

prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.� Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator

temperatures even.� Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator,

and cause temperatures to rise.� Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks

so that the door cannot be fully closed.

� Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.� Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.� When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer

shelf, not in the door rack.� Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet

hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.- That’s why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner mattersare frozen, causing personal injury.

� Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from directcontact with chilled air.

� Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed andwiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

� When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and alwaysstore them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Vacation Time

Power Failure

If You Move

Anti-Condensation

Pipe

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect yourrefrigerator temperatures.However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially justafter installation.Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hotrefrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking sodasolution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, orpower plug is well inserted into the power consent.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity ofelectrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid fromgetting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkalinesolutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stickor adhere to extremely cold surfaces.

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilledfood should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces ifallowed to settle.

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of yourrefrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
